First off, I am really digging those green dice. Never was a fan of the yellow ones because I never felt like the numbers stood out enough. I’ve never seen a 30 sided die before. Does it have negative numbers on it? How does that work?

Not the same. The d30 gives a range of 1-30, but d20+d10 gives 2-30. And the second combo gives 4-30. Besides, it’s an excuse to buy more weird dice. For Dungeon Crawl Classics, I also have a d3, d5, d7, d14, d16, d22, and d24. I draw the line at the d100 though.

I used to work at The Armory. Boy, the stories I could tell 🙂 I wish I could go back and wander through that enormous warehouse. The owner, Roy Lippman, was really ahead of his time in many ways—in particular, he tried to create what he called an “electronic buyer’s guide” long before the Internet. I was part of the crew putting that together. Each hobby shop would have had its own Mac with the Buyer’s Guide built into it. Sadly, it never worked out that way, but working there was quite the experience.

When I was a little kid, I lived in Pikesville and when my dad and I would go to The Armory to shop, the folks there would take me into the warehouse and let me look around. Man… SUCH great memories of that. Opened my mind!
